I'm using the damn clicky earring (which you've never used) and I'm telling you the mana savings aren't important. Furthermore I'm very rarely low-mana. The other night I was constantly nuking off my excess mana and didn't snare a single thing.

I've used snare clickies before. I have multiple videos in this thread. You don't need to play a ranger to understand the following:
1. Click the clickie
2. Mob is snared
3. You spent zero mana
4. A 4 second cast time is not long, especially when compared to many other non-clickie spells that people cast often.
Please stop using the argument from authority fallacy. I'd love to hear about this supposed knowledge that can only be gleaned from clicking Woven Bark earring specifically.
You can of course have Hammered Golden Loop bagged for scenarios where you don't use snare if you have the bag space. The downside with earring slots is they are swapped for resist gear, so you need to know how to play with less max HP anyway.
You have 3 basic scenarios:
1. When using snare, 5 clicks of woven bark earring gives you enough mana for 270 HP via Greater Healing, which is better than +74 max HP from HGL.
2. When not using snare and not needing resists, you can get +74 max HP from HGL.
3. When you need resists, you are either losing all max HP in that slot for Blue Diamond Earrings, or you have basically the same max HP as Woven Bark Earring when using Earring of Essence.
Until you get a nice all purpose raid earring like Essence Pearl, Vulak Earring, etc., you aren't going to be permanentally using one earring.
